Thank you, Aud, for joining in! If you have your own blog or what-not, feel free to borrow this idea any time. I hope you like the frog. 
I’m very glad to hear that this lil thing made you feel spiffy. This kinda thing always makes me feel lovely as well.
Here is Aud:
This is an awesome idea! I wish I would have thought of it
Oddly enough, things that I admire about myself started flowing through my head faster than I could type them. Hope you are entertained … 
*I am very proud of my hair. I am dark blond, a shade darker than my grandmother (well, she has white hair now, but it used to be blond!). It is full and thick and wavy – and at times hard to tame. Sexy!
* I look a lot like my mother. I know that is something that many women may not be proud of, but I am. My mother is 50, and still looks great!
*I have a crush on Keifer Sutherland! ;D
* I love dogs. I am a responsible pet owner – I spoil my Lab Mix, Loki, absolutely rotten! I also volunteer with the Humane Society for Southwest Washington as a morning dog walker.
* I love to learn. About almost anything. I envy those girls that enjoy math, and I wish I could! I also love to read…about almost anything.
* I am an artist. I draw, paint, cross-stitch, crochet, and write…among other artistic pursuits.
*I live over 3,000 miles away from where I grew up. I live in Vancouver, WA and was raised around Jacksonville, FL – and I retained my southern drawl!
*Even though my religion was condemned by my friends, family, and community where I grew up, I stood firm, and continue to strive to be the best person I can be, both within and outside of Asatru.
*I may not be a “who’s who” in the Asatru community, but I have definitely made myself a “someone to watch.”I am the ‘Arts and Education’ Director of the Falcon Kindred, my religious organization. (www.falconkindred.com)
* I am the first marine, and the first woman to go into the military in my father’s family. I am the first woman to go into the military in my mother’s family as well.
*I stood firm with the VA and now receive the benefits that I deserve for my injuries sustained during my military service.
*I’m a Dean Koontz nut. I think that I must have read everything he’s written!
*I fight BPD every day. And I am proud to say that I have continued to win – every day – for almost a year!
* I live with pain every day of my life – and I deal with it as gracefully and proudly as possible. I love myself despite – or maybe because – of my injuries. A small meniscus tear with knee pain morphs into muscle imbalance, weakness, and a painful, immobile lower back. I cannot stand, walk, or sit for long periods without pain. And now,compression fractures were discovered in two of my vertebrae, presumably from my USMC service. Although I can’t prove it. I’m proud of myself for knowing what my body can do, and trying my darnedest to be as mobile as I can possibly be
* I recently found out that my friends consider me a “strong” woman.
* Oh, and I’m the only girl I know of whose favorite color is green. And my favorite animal is the frog – imagine that!
OOOOOOOOO! Now I feel super! I am sooo AWESOME!
Thanks, angrygrayrainbows!
Wow Aud, you seem like such a cool, unique person! You have cool hair, and you’re a marine! I love that you crochet; I’ve been thinking about learning how to do that. I have a female friend who’s favorite color is green; and she’s Irish!
Oh, I happen to think that Keifer Sutherland is pretty hot.
I’ve loved coming to this blog during the past couple of days and reading these lists! Seeing people be positive about themselves is really encouraging.
[...] after I read post after post after post of people doing this on her blog I became intrigued. The posts didn’t [...]
Thanks, Charlotte! Unfortunately, when I was a marine, I chopped all that great hair off (to about 1 1/2″ ). Otherwise, I would have had to bring it up into an atrocious-looking bun that makes you look like a schoolmarm in camo.
I’ve only started to be positive and self-affirming about a year ago. As you can see, it catches on!
I’ve also started to be more assertive as well, telling my religious community that I would rather focus on a devotional practice, rather than group practice.
Now, I’ll start work on my husband, to see if I can make him more positive….
